How to Read a Dress: A Guide to Changing Fashion from the 16th to the 20th Century by Lydia Edwards

4.0

The book provides a basic overview of the history of the dress. It's not a thorough research book, but it assists readers who would want to get to know the brief differences of the dresses from each era. It's an ideal book to help me develop a rough and big picture of costume for my research paper about theatrical costume design.
